The characteristics of poetry are: ① easy to understand, appealing to both refined and popular tastes. ② Common contrast techniques. ③ Pay attention to the description of characters.
Bai Juyi's poems are clear and simple. This simple poetic language played a role in disintegrating the old poetic language paradigm and model in the whole poetic revolution at that time. Most of his satirical poems chant one thing, with concentrated themes and highly typical character events, such as Selling Charcoal Weng, which tells the story directly, with complete narrative and tortuous plot. Secondly, it has its own characteristics in the combination of narrative discussion. Most of the poems are about the death of Zhang Xianzhi, which is the discussion at the end of the article. There are several types: first, poets directly discuss and vent their feelings, such as the red carpet; The second is to compare their rich life with the poverty of the people, such as "watching the harvested wheat" and "living in the village" to express their remorse and guilt; The third is to compare the hunger and cold of the people with extravagant desires such as "buying flowers" and "being light and fat". Thirdly, in addition to giving directly, we also use fables to hold things.
